The Hot Cakes series by Erin Nicholas runs seven books from 2020 to 2021. The series is set in Appleby, Iowa, where the local snack cake factory is the center of the town’s economy and social life. Titles like Sugar Rush, Sugarcoated, and Making Whoopie lean into the bakery theme.
The concept is pure Nicholas: take a specific small-town workplace, populate it with funny, flawed characters, and let the romances unfold. The snack cake setting gives the series a playful identity distinct from her bayou books.
